2016/17 Other A-League Games

Sydneys away support at the Scum is dreadful. 100 maybe?

Big club my arse.

. Only put it on just before Sydney scored and that was one of my first thoughts.

Who wants to go to Newcastle?
Probably scared they might catch scurvy (or worse) off the locals.

Sunday evening is a *shit* time to have to pull a day trip. Out of the house at 2-ish to get to the game in some reasonable time to have a bite pre-match, stick around for the game, leave a bit after 7, get home around 9.

That's a shit way to spend a day.

It's worse by public transport too. The day after the 2007 election a mate and I dragged our happy but *monumentally* hungover arses on the train up to the game to watch a f**king dire contest. We were on a train at something like 1-ish and didn't get home until well after 10 - we'd have been much better served watching it in a pub.

Good shoulder charge by matty

Just as bad as Roy's head but however doubt anything will come from it since it's SFC. Week penalty and SFC survived off KCJ.

Better served but soft. That trip gets you respect......and like PP, eggy and the hardy crew from bay 16....you help get our club respect. Sitting in the Ancient Briton is weak but the easy option.
My wife makes sure i take the easy option as much as she can lol.
I got the away game leave pass up to Scumville maybe I can get a Driveby or Bling game as well....which is more fun?? Been to the land of the Parra twice but only grand finals at Bling so far.

Jets beat Perth last night 2-1 but should have been 5 or 6. Reddy made 11 saves and Perth wee horrible. They are stuffed without Castro

 

[Tevor]

At least AU are keeping us off the bottom this week but Roar are in good form which is worrying for us this Sunday.

That's the problem with hiring a 34 year old marquee though...

Those talented but fringe foreign players still with a few of their best years left like... Berisha, Fornaroli, Martinez, Dutchy, Roy, Monty (was at the least)... that's where it's at. Hoping Okon is well connected and has a bunch of players/targets in mind already.

 

[Tevor]

Matt Simon cited for his shoulder charge the other night, he may be in big trouble. Will be interesting as I consider just as bad as Roy's misdemeanour last year. But this is SFC so probably just a slap on the wrist.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

SFC ... so yeah... not much in it.

What did North get in relation to Perez?

Given MC's desire to not spend, there wont be anyone who makes that lis

Not sure it was as bad as Roy to be fair, red if the ref saw it though (and he didnt play for SFC)

I really don't think there was all that much in Simon's shoulder.

It was a cheap shot, people complain about diving and I feel just as strongly about cheap shots. Fully intentional and needs to be punished.

 

[VicMariner]

Wish we still had him. We need some of that mongrel attitude on the park.

Agree that it was a cheap shot, but it was nowhere near the same level as O'Donovan's headbutt. Far less danger of injury to the other player, far less aggressive intent shown.

Don't get me wrong Roy deserved what he got for his brain snap, would be content with 2-3 weeks for Simon.
